YEREVAN.- Spokesperson for Armenian President Alexander Arzumanyan
commented for Armenian News-NEWS.am on authorities? further steps
aimed at establishing dialogue with the opposition Armenian National
Congress (Anc).

?If you remember, in a June 17 statement President Serzh Sargsyan said
that members of the ruling coalition can sit at a round table if the
ANC holds a dialogue not over one but range of key issues of Armenia?s
foreign and domestic policy and wants to do it through specifically
chosen people,? said Arzumanyan.

He recalled that in his speech during June 30 rally, leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan in fact praised the proposal, noting that the dialogue
should be held around the priority issues.

?Welcoming such a response of the ANC, the coalition parties have
formed a working group composed of two representatives from each
party. In the next few days the list of members will be released. It
will be possible to hold the first working discussion in the next ten
days,? he added.
